Abstract

An admission gate (3) comprises an automatic arrangement (6) which is activated by insertion of money and which delivers time-coded closure elements (8), which are in each case adapted to a specific locker (11) or the like provided in the swimming pool, and which are retained upon leaving. In order to substantially prevent misuse, the invention proposes that the automatic arrangement (6) codes the strip- shaped closure elements (8) on delivery identically to a code stored in the associated locker (11). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage gemäß Gattungsbegriff des Hauptanspruchs. Eine derartige Anlage ist aus der DE-AS 23 59 317 bekannt. Dort wird eine Einrichtung für einen vollautomatischen Kassenbetrieb in Hallenbädern oder dergleichen offenbart, bei der nach Vorwahl einer Tarifart an einem Eingangsautomaten nach Bezahlung ein mit codierten Informationen versehenes Schließelement abgegeben wird. Dieses Schließelement dient einerseits zur Überwachung der bezahlten Benutzerzeit, indem es beim Verlassen des Hallenbades in einen Ausgangsautomaten eingeführt werden muß, der dann den Ausgang nur freigibt, wenn die Besuchszeit innerhalb der bezahlten Benutzungszeit liegt, andererseits dient das Schließelement als Schlüssel für einen bestimmten Garderobenschrank, dessen fest zugeordnete Codierung mit dem Lochcode auf der Eintrittskarte übereinstimmt. Diese Anlage weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß bei einer Nichtabgabe des Schließelementes an den Ausgangsautomaten beim Verlassen des Hallenbades aufgrund der dem Garderobenschrank fest zugeordneten Codierung bei der Bereitstellung eines neuen identischen Schließelements aufgrund des immer noch vorhandenen ersten Schließelementes ein Mißbrauch nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann. Der Mißbrauch kann nur durch ein Auswechseln des Garderobenschrankschlosses bzw. dessen Codierung verhindert werden.The invention relates to a system according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a system is known from DE-AS 23 59 317. There, a device for fully automatic checkout in indoor swimming pools or the like is disclosed, in which, after preselection of a type of tariff, a locking element provided with coded information is delivered to an entrance machine after payment. This locking element serves on the one hand to monitor the paid user time by having to insert it into an exit machine when leaving the indoor pool, which only releases the exit if the visiting time is within the paid usage time, on the other hand the locking element serves as a key for a certain cloakroom locker, whose permanently assigned coding matches the hole code on the admission ticket. However, this system has the disadvantage that if the locking element is not delivered to the exit machines when leaving the indoor pool due to the coding permanently assigned to the cloakroom locker, misuse cannot be ruled out when a new, identical locking element is provided due to the still existing first locking element. The misuse can only be prevented by changing the locker lock or its coding.

Weiterhin bekannt ist aus der AT-PS 278 415 ein eingangsseitig angeordneter Automat, der eine Vielzahl unter sich verschiedener Einzelschlösser und ebensoviel, jeweils zu einem der Schlösser passende Schließelemente besitzt. Jedem dieser Einzelschlösser ist ein Zeitmeß werk zugeordnet. Auch hier dient das Schließelement als Kontrollelement, welches nach Geldeingang entnehmbar ist. Nachteilig an dieser Ausgestaltung ist der erhebliche Aufwand, der einerseits eine doppelte Anzahl von Schlössern und andererseits eine große Anzahl von Zeitmeßwerken benötigt und darüber hinaus auch einen oben angesprochenen Mißbrauch nicht ausschließt.Also known from AT-PS 278 415 is an automat arranged on the input side, which has a multiplicity of individual locks which are different from one another and just as much, each of which has locking elements which match one of the locks. Each of these individual locks is a time measurement plant assigned. Here, too, the closing element serves as a control element, which can be removed after receipt of the money. A disadvantage of this configuration is the considerable effort which, on the one hand, requires a double number of locks and, on the other hand, a large number of timepieces and, moreover, does not rule out any misuse mentioned above.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anlage der vorausgesetzten Art von einem, benutzervorteilhaften Aufbau anzugeben derart, daß ein Mißbrauch weitestgehend verhindert ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a system of the type required, of a user-advantageous design in such a way that misuse is largely prevented.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Zufolge derartiger Ausgestaltung ist eine gattungsgemäße Anlage von einfachem Aufbau gegeben. Der Automat gibt nach Geldeingabe vorzugsweise streifenförmige, dem Code des Schließfachschlosses entsprechende Schließelemente aus, wobei die Codierung personenbezogen sein kann. Es ist nun möglich, mittels des Schließelements die Eingangssperre zu passieren und das Schließelement dem Schließfachschloß zuzuführen. Hierbei erfolgt eine Auswertung derart, daß bei identischer Codierung von Schließelement und Schließfachschloß dieses mittels einer gesonderten Betätigungshandhabe schließbar ist. Es ist mittels des Schließelements eine Mehrfachbenutzung während eines Aufenthaltes in der Anlage möglich. Beim Verlassen der Anlage wird das Schließelement einbehalten und ausgewertet. Ein eventueller Überbetrag wird zurückerstattet oder es muß eine Nachgebühr bezahlt werden. Ein Mißbrauch der Schließelemente ist weitgehend verhindert. Selbst wenn ein Schließelement nicht zurückgegeben werden sollte, lassen sich keine unbefugten Manipulatio nen vornehmen. Wird nämlich für das gleiche Schließfachschloß ein neues, mit einer geänderten Codierung versehenes Schließelement vom Automaten ausgegeben, so erfolgt neben der Änderung der Codierung des Schließelementes auch die des zugehörigen Schließfachschlosses entsprechend einem Fortschreibeprogramm, wobei das Fortschreibeprogramm in einem Automaten identisch ist mit einem im zugehörigen Schließfachschloß gespeicherten Programm. Es ist der ein Schließelement zurückbehaltenden Person beim Wiedereintritt in die Badeanstalt nur dann möglich das Schließfachschloß zu benutzen, wenn zuvor kein anderer Benutzer das Schließfachschloß mit einem neuen, einen geänderten Code tragenden Schließelement betätigt hat. Dies kann z.B. dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Benutzer ein Schließelement mit der Wertigkeit 11 für ein Schließfachschloß bekommt. Bei der nächsten Ausgabe eines Schließelements für dieses Schließfachschloß erhält dann das Schließelement die Wertigkeit 22. Jeweils bei einer erneuten Ausgabe eines diesem Schließfachschloß zugeordneten Schließelements wird die Wertigkeit um 11 erhöht. Demnach erfolgt eine arthmetische Zunahme der Wertigkeit. Wird das Schließelement mit der Wertigkeit 11 einbehalten, so erhält ein anderer Benutzer nach Ablauf einer bestimmten Zeit, beispielsweise einem Tag, ein Schließelement mit der Wertigkeit 22. Er kann mit diesem Schließelement das Schließfachschloß betätigen, wobei dessen vom Programm bestimmter Wert auf die Höhe von 22 gebracht wird. Der zurückbehaltene Schlüssel mit der Wertigkeit 11 dagegen kann dann keine Schließfunktion des Schließfachschlosses einleiten. Er ist somit entwertet und unbrauchbar. Das bedeutet, daß jedes höhergeordnete Schließelement alle tiefergeordneten Schließelemente eliminiert. Eine solche Bauform eignet sich insbesondere dann, wenn die Stromversorgung der Schließfachschlösser durch Batterien erfolgt.As a result of such a configuration, a generic system of simple construction is provided. After entering the money, the machine preferably outputs strip-shaped locking elements corresponding to the code of the locker lock, the coding being able to be personal. It is now possible to pass the entrance lock by means of the locking element and to feed the locking element to the locker lock. An evaluation is carried out in such a way that if the locking element and locker lock are coded identically, this can be locked by means of a separate actuation handle. Multiple use during a stay in the system is possible using the locking element. When leaving the system, the locking element is retained and evaluated. Any excess will be refunded or an additional fee will have to be paid. Misuse of the closing elements is largely prevented. Even if a locking element should not be returned, no unauthorized manipulation can be carried out make one. If, for the same locker lock, a new locking element with a changed coding is issued by the machine, the coding of the locking element is changed in addition to that of the associated locker lock in accordance with an update program, the update program in an automatic machine being identical to that in the associated locker lock saved program. It is only possible for the person who retains a locking element when re-entering the bathing establishment to use the locker lock if no other user has previously actuated the locker lock with a new locking element bearing a changed code. This can be achieved, for example, in that the user receives a locking element with the value 11 for a locker lock. The next time a lock element is issued for this locker lock, the lock element is given the value 22. The value is increased by 11 each time a lock element assigned to this locker lock is issued again. Accordingly, there is an arthmetic increase in value. If the locking element with the value 11 is retained, another user receives a locking element with the value 22 after a certain time, for example one day. With this locking element, he can operate the locker lock, the value of which is determined by the program 22 is brought. The retained key with the value 11, on the other hand, cannot initiate a locking function of the locker lock. It is devalued and unusable. This means that every higher-level locking element eliminates all lower-level locking elements. Such a design is particularly suitable when the locker locks are powered by batteries.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, daß Zwischenstufen des Schließfachschloß-Programms überspringbar sind. Selbst wenn mehrere Schließelemente z.B. nicht benutzt werden sollten, werden durch das zuletzt ausgegebene Schließelement die Zwischenstufen des Schließfachschloß-Programms übersprungen.It is advantageous that intermediate levels of the locker program can be skipped. Even if several locking elements e.g. should not be used, the locking element last output skips the intermediate levels of the locker program.

Dem Schließelement kann auch eine kontrollierbare Ausweisfunktion zukommen, auch z.B. als Zutrittserlaubnis zur abgetrennten Einrichtung des Bades, wobei eine Variation möglich ist dahingehend, daß das zu einem bestimmten Schließfach gehörige Schließelement mal diese Zutritts-Erlaubnis beinhaltet und mal nicht, z.B. je nach Tarifgefüge bzw. Tarifwahl. Diese Ausweisfunkton gestattet praktisch auch die Erfassung weiterer Leistungen. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, daß das Schließelement einen Freiraum zur Aufnahme zusätzlicher, vom Schließ- und Zeitcode unabhängiger Codierungen aufweist. Für das Schließelement kann ein Überbetrag bei der Ausgabe entrichtet werden, so daß persönliche Service-Leistungen in der Anstalt in Anspruch genommen werden können. Die Abrechnung erfolgt dann beim Zurückgeben des Schließelements. Vorzugsweise wird eine Service-Leistung nur dann erbracht, wenn das Schließelement noch den entsprechenden Gegenwert enthält. Eine Service-Leistung wird dabei am Schließelement in Form fälschungssicherer Codierungen vorgenommen.The locking element can also have a controllable identification function, also, for example, as an access permit to separate the bathroom, whereby a variation is possible in that the locking element belonging to a particular locker sometimes contains this access permission and sometimes does not, for example depending on the tariff structure or Tariff choice. This ID function also practically allows the recording of other services. It is advantageous that the locking element has a free space for receiving additional codes that are independent of the locking and time code. An excess can be paid for the locking element when it is issued so that personal services can be used in the institution. Settlement is then carried out when the locking element is returned. A service is preferably only provided if the closing element still contains the corresponding countervalue. A service is performed on the locking element in the form of tamper-proof codes.

in the schematic floor plan of a bathing establishment with associated system according to the second embodiment.

Gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform, dargestellt in den Fig. 1-3, ist der Haupteingang der Badeanstalt mit der Ziffer 1 bezeichnet. Von diesem gelangt der Besucher in einen Vorraum 2. Um die Badeanstalt benutzen zu können, muß er die in Form eines Drehkreuzes 3 ausgebildete Eingangssperre passieren. Das Drehkreuz 3 ist um eine vertikale Achse 4 gelagert und besitzt mehrere übereinander angeordnete Drehkreuzarme 5, die einen unrechtmäßigen Durchgang verhindern.According to the first embodiment, shown in FIGS. 1-3, the main entrance of the bathing establishment is designated by the number 1. From there the visitor enters an anteroom 2. In order to be able to use the bathing establishment, he must pass the entrance barrier designed in the form of a turnstile 3. The turnstile 3 is mounted about a vertical axis 4 and has a plurality of turnstile arms 5 arranged one above the other, which prevent illegal passage.

Die Eingangssperre 3 erstreckt sich neben einem eingangseitig angeordneten Automaten 6, welcher eine Begrenzung des Eintrittpfades darstellt. Letzterer ist eingangsseitig mit einem Bedienfeld 7 ausgestattet. Dort ist auch die Geldeingabe vorzunehmen. Danach gibt der Automat 6 ein streifenförmiges Schließelement 8 aus. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel öffnet mit der Ausgabe des Streifenelements 8 die Eingangssperre, so daß der Benutzer in das innere der Badeanstalt gelangen kann. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, den Automaten entfernt von der Eingangssperre 3 unterzubringen. Dann dient das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 als Ticket, um die Eingangssperre 3 passieren zu können. In diesem Falle müßte der Eingangssperre eine das Schließelement kontrollierende Lesestation zugeordnet sein.The entrance block 3 extends next to a machine 6 arranged on the input side, which represents a limitation of the entry path. The latter is equipped on the input side with a control panel 7. The entry of money is also to be made there. Then the automat 6 outputs a strip-shaped closing element 8. In the exemplary embodiment, when the strip element 8 is output, the input lock opens so that the user can get inside the bathing establishment. However, it is also possible to place the machine away from the entrance block 3. Then the strip-shaped closing element 8 serves as a ticket in order to be able to pass the entrance barrier 3. In this case, the input block would have to be assigned a reading station controlling the closing element.

Das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 kann von einer im Automaten untergebrachten, nicht dargestellten Vorratsrolle abgezogen werden. Das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 wird bei der Ausgabe entsprechend einem Fortschreibeprogramm kodiert. Zu diesem Zweck kann der Streifen 8 an entsprechender Stelle ein zu kodierendes Feld 9 besitzen. Dies kann im Wege einer Lochkodierung geschehen.The strip-shaped closing element 8 can be pulled off a storage roll, not shown, which is accommodated in the machine. The strip-shaped closing element 8 is encoded according to an update program during output. For this purpose, the strip 8 can have a field 9 to be coded at the appropriate point. This can be done by hole coding.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel wird das Schließelement 8 mit der Nummer 15 versehen. Dies zeigt dem Benutzer an, daß er Zugang zu einem der Schließfächer 5 mit der Nummer 15 hat. Das dort an der Türe 10 innenseitig angebrachte Schließfachschloß 11 enthält einen Riegel 12. Dieser ist schließbar durch Drehen eines türaußenseitig befindlichen Drehknopfes 13. Eine Betätigung des letzteren kann nur durch Einstecken des streifenförmigen Schließelementes 8 in einen Durchzugschlitz 14 erfolgen, welcher in einem Gehäuse 15 an der Türaußenseite festgelegt ist. Dieses Gehäuse 15 umfaßt mit seinem freien Ende den Drehknopf 13. In dem Gehäuse 15 ist auf Höhe des Durchzugsschlitzes 14 ein schematisch veranschaulichter Rechner R untergebracht. Das zur Kodierung des Schließelements 8 verwendete Fortschreibeprogramm ist identisch mit dem Programm des im Schließfachschloß 11 untergebrachten Rechners R. Wird nun das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 durch den Durchzugsschlitz 14 geführt und wird die Kodierung als richtig erkannt, so gibt der Rechner R den Impuls an das Schließeingerichte weiter, woraufhin der Drehknopf 13 verlagerbar ist. Der Riegel 12 des Schlosses 11 läßt sich verschließen. Um das Schließfachschloß 11 öffnen zu können, ist erneut das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 einzuführen. Beim Verlassen der Badeanstalt ist das Schließelement 8 in ein einer Ausgangssperre 16 vorgeordnetes Prüfgerät 17 einzustecken. Letzteres ist ebenfalls in dem Gehäuse des Automaten 6 untergebracht. Wurde die zulässige Benutzungszeit nicht überschritten, kann die in Form eines Drehkreuzes ausgebildete Ausgangssperre 16 passiert werden. Ist der Zeitraum jedoch größer als die zulässige Benutzungszeit, wird eine der überschrittenen Zeit entsprechende Nachgebühr auf einem Leuchtfeld 18 angezeigt. Erst nach Zahlen der Nachgebühr öffnet die Eingangssperre 16.In the exemplary embodiment, the closing element 8 is provided with the number 15. This indicates to the user that he has access to one of the lockers 5 with the number 15. The locker lock 11 attached to the inside of the door 10 contains a bolt 12. This can be closed by turning a rotary knob 13 on the outside of the door. The latter can only be actuated by inserting the strip-shaped locking element 8 into a pull-through slot 14, which is in a housing 15 the outside of the door is fixed. With its free end, this housing 15 comprises the rotary knob 13. In the housing 15, a schematically illustrated computer R is accommodated at the level of the pull-through slot 14. The update program used for coding the locking element 8 is identical to the program of the computer R accommodated in the locker lock 11. If the strip-shaped locking element 8 is now passed through the pull-through slot 14 and the coding is recognized as correct, the computer R gives the impulse to the locking device further, whereupon the rotary knob 13 is displaceable. The bolt 12 of the lock 11 can be closed. In order to be able to open the locker lock 11, the strip-shaped locking element 8 has to be introduced again. When leaving the bathing facility, the closing element 8 is to be inserted into a test device 17 arranged upstream of a curfew 16. The latter is also housed in the housing of the machine 6. If the permissible usage time has not been exceeded, the curfew 16 in the form of a turnstile can be passed. However, if the period is longer than the permissible usage time, an additional charge corresponding to the time exceeded is displayed on a light field 18. Entry lock 16 only opens after paying the additional fee.

Wurden beim Eintritt in die Badeanstalt zwei oder mehr Schließelemente 8 erworben und nur eines benutzt, können mit den dann zurückbehaltenen Schließelementen beim Wiedereintritt in die Badeanstalt keine unbefugten Manipulationen vorgenommen werden, wie es eingangs schon erwähnt wurde.If two or more locking elements 8 were purchased and only one used when entering the bathing establishment, then no unauthorized manipulations can be carried out with the locking elements then retained when re-entering the bathing establishment, as was already mentioned at the beginning.

Das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 weist im Anschluß an das Kodierungsfeld 9 einen Freiraum 19 auf. Dort können vom SchlieB- und Zeitkode unabhängige Kodierungen vorgenommen werden, und zwar bei entsprechenden Service-Leistungen innerhalb der Badeanstalt. Wird bspw. dort ein Getränk verlangt, so kann an der Getränkeausgabe eine Kodierung in diesem Freiraum 19 erfolgen. Die Abrechnung erfolgt dann beim Verlassen der Badeanstalt durch das Prüfgerät 17.The strip-shaped closing element 8 has a free space 19 following the coding field 9. Codings that are independent of the closing and time code can be made there, with appropriate services within the bathing establishment. If, for example, a drink is requested there, coding can take place in this free space 19 at the beverage dispenser. The billing is then carried out by the test device 17 when leaving the bathing establishment.

Das streifenförmige Schließelement 8 ist so gestaltet, daß es um das Handgelenk unverlierbar gelegt werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck ist das eine Ende 8' des Schließelements 8 mit einer kreuzförmigen Einstecköffnung 20 versehen, während das andere Ende randseitige Aussparungen 21 ausbildet. Diese treten in Verhakung mit dem kürzeren Abschnitt 20' der kreuzförmigen Einstecköffnung 20, welcher Abschnitt 20' rechtwinklig zur Längserstreckung des streifenförmigen Schließelementes 8 verläuft.The strip-shaped closing element 8 is designed so that it can be placed captively around the wrist. For this purpose, one end 8 'of the closing element 8 is provided with a cross-shaped insertion opening 20, while the other end forms recesses 21 on the edge. These hook into the shorter section 20 'of the cross-shaped insertion opening 20, which section 20' extends at right angles to the longitudinal extent of the strip-shaped closing element 8.

Bei der in Fig. 4 dargestellten zweiten Ausführungsform tragen gleiche Teile gleiche Bezugsziffern. In dem eingangsseitig angeordneten Automaten 6 ist eine Kodiereinrichtung 22 untergebracht. Dieselbe ist leitungsverbunden mit dem dargestellten Schließfachschloß 11. Die entsprechenden Leitungen tragen die Bezugsziffern 23. Es ist verständlich, daß die übrigen Schließfachschlösser ebenfalls mit der Kodiereinrichtung 22 leitungsverbunden sind.In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the same parts have the same reference numbers. A coding device 22 is accommodated in the machine 6 arranged on the input side. The same is connected to the locker lock 11 shown. The corresponding lines have the reference numbers 23. It is understandable that the other locker locks are also connected to the coding device 22.

Beim Eintritt in die Badeanstalt erhält der Besucher ebenfalls ein streifenförmiges Schließelement 8. Dessen Kodierung ist identisch mit dem im zugehörigen Schließfachschloß 11 gespeicherten Kode. Der Besucher kann daher mit diesem Schließelement 8 das Schließfachschloß 11 betätigen. Es ist ebenfalls eine Mehrfachbenutzung möglich während einer Aufenthaltszeit.When entering the bathing establishment, the visitor also receives a strip-shaped locking element 8, the coding of which is identical to the code stored in the associated locker lock 11. The visitor can therefore operate the locker lock 11 with this locking element 8. Multiple use is also possible during a stay.

Wird für dieses Schließfachschloß erneut ein Schließelement 8 ausgegeben, so erhält dieses eine andere Kodierung und gleichzeitig wird über die Kodiereinrichtung 22 und Leitungen 23 eine Umkodierung des im Schließfachschloß 11 gespeicherten Kodes vorgenommen, so daß dieses wieder identisch ist mit der zuletzt ausgegebenen Kodierung des Schließelements 8. Ein evtl. zurückbehaltenes Schließelement 8 vermag daher nicht, das Schließfachschloß 11 zu betätigen, selbst wenn dieses zuvor möglich war.If a locking element 8 is issued again for this locker lock, it receives a different coding and is simultaneously Recoding of the code stored in the locker lock 11 is carried out via the coding device 22 and lines 23, so that it is again identical to the last code of the locking element 8. A possibly retained locking element 8 is therefore not able to actuate the locker lock 11, even if this was previously possible.
